Clinton to convene meeting with Petraeus, other national security experts

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Hillary Clinton will meet with a bipartisan group of former national security officials on Friday, a group that includes ousted former CIA Director David Petraeus and former George W. Bush Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff.
The meeting, announced on Thursday morning as Clinton spoke to reporters outside her campaign plane before a campaign stop in Charlotte, North Carolina, will be a "working session" held at the New York Historical Society, according to a campaign official.
Clinton has striven to prove the distance between her and Donald Trump on foreign policy, gathering endorsements from a broad array of Democratic and Republican security experts. Friday's meeting, however, includes some of the most famous and controversial experts to sit down with her yet.
It comes on the heels of Wednesday evening's commander-in-chief forum, from which the Clinton campaign was eager to move on after a defensive performance that officials believed was too friendly to the Republican nominee.
